I donāt do āsoft-blocksā
Either ask me to block you,
block me yourself,
or shut up about it.
A āsoft blockā is way more confusing than just getting blocked
And my RSD is very āI will burn that bridge when I get to itā when the rejection feels harsh enough
I donāt consider friendships āall or nothingā, far from it, Iām happy with however little I get
But if it feels like youāre pushing me away and you donāt try to talk to me? Consider that bridge burned.
And yes, since I do have RSD oftentimes perceived rejection is enough. But I also donāt have relationship decay. So if you drop me/ tell me to go away/ āsoft-ghostā me, I consider that bridge burned.
I donāt always block people. But it you āsoft blockedā me first? Yup, definitely.
If you just stop talking/ replying to me one day, thatās cool. But also, Iām done with the friendship. Unless we previously established that our communication will have gaps that may or may not span weeks/ months. Emphasis on previously established, just let me know and the friendship is on stand-by for however long.
And while Iām here airing grievances, I would have preferred a āfuck offā to end the friendship. Instead of getting ghosted and blocked on tumblr, Facebook, WhatsApp, AO3, and Discord. Sure, I would have liked a quick explanation more than that. But since I thought we were still friends, at least let me know youāre done with me.
